Mel-bourne and Mel-ons


We had a great time on our short trip to Melbourne. Book of Mormon was still great - while the leads couldn't top the original broadway cast, the young woman who played Nabulungi was really amazing. The sets and props were almost exactly the same as the Broadway production. 

PAX AUS was also predictably fun. We nerded out on boardgames, video games, and panels. My favorite unusual find was an app game called Florence, which is more of an interactive graphic novel than a game. 

No trip to Melbourne, however short, is complete without a trip to Chin Chin/Go Go Bar, our favorite restaurant. The food was delicious and it hit the spot. 

And just like that, we're back in Sydney in the middle of another work week. Nothing special was happening for Halloween this year, so that's kind of come and gone too. 

In closing, I'm going to channel Oprah for a second, and plug one of my current favorite things: "H2 Melon Water". It's actually watermelon juice without any pulp, but I think they're calling it that to attract the coconut water crowd. In any case, I already liked fresh-squeezed watermelon juice, it was just not really something found in stores until recently. So, yay for refreshing watermelon juice as the weather is getting warmer! 

Now, I'm thinking of ridiculous marketing, so I'll end with this...
